The Otter, the Spotted Frog & the Great Flood: A Creek Indian Story by Ramon Shiloh, Gerald Hausman
afro8921's review against another edition
5.0
This is a wonderful retelling of the creation story. The listener and Honors Himself are own opposite sides of a debate. The listener believes the spotted frog's prophecy about the great flood and Honor Himself doesn't. The richly colored art work in this book is visually appealing and has gorgeous Native American dreamscape overtones. This book would be a good introduction into folktales from different cultures.

I came across this story via Netgalley and read it to my son. We both agreed that we probably would have enjoyed this one much better in an actual picture book format vs my Kindle where the pictures and formatting were horrible. This was a beautiful Creek Indian story about the first man and first woman came to be the first two legged humans born into this world.
